The musings of a historian

Update…

With me starting my PhD in January I thought I had better update the blog with the right information. This has meant an update of the thesis outline. What you find here is a copy of my proposal as accepted. It outlines the rationale, sources and possible methodology that might be used in the course of my research. It also illustrates an effective outline for this type of proposal. I must thank Dan Todman at Trench Fever and Britain at War who read through an early version of this proposal and gave me some useful comments. Cheers Dan.

The second update is on the bibliography page. It now has the indicative bibliography that was included in the proposal. Of course this will grow as I begin my research. Indeed one of my first tasks will be to generate an effective list of literature on Leigh-Mallory. If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.
